Sa gitna ng malalim na krisis sa pamamahala, at sa pagod, hirap, at pagkadismaya ng milyun-milyong Pilipino, patuloy tayong naghahanap ng lider na may integridad, kakayahan, at malinaw na paninindigan; isang lider na kayang tumulong sa atin upang ibangon at ayusin ang ating bayan.
Dahil dito, kinikilala ng Akbayan Party ang lumalakas na panawagan para kay Senator Risa Hontiveros bilang kandidato sa pagkapangulo sa 2028, at ang kanyang kahandaang tumindig bilang standard-bearer ng demokratikong oposisyon.

Dahil hindi siya umaatras.
Kasama natin lagi si Risa. Mula sa pagpapalawig ng maternity leave para sa mga working nanay, pagprotekta sa mga pasyente laban sa mga abusadong ospital, hanggang sa pagsusulong ng murang gamot at tunay na universal health care, dala niya ay kalinga, aksyon, at solusyon upang mapabuti ang ating mga buhay.
Hindi siya umaatras para sa mahihina, hindi siya natitinag sa harap ng makapangyarihan, at hindi siya tumitigil hangga’t may kailangang ipagtanggol.
At tulad niya, tayong ordinaryong mamamayan ay hindi rin umaatras. Sa kabila ng hirap at gulo, hindi tayo sumusuko sa pag-abot ng ating mga pangarap para sa isang mas magandang buhay.
Kaya muli tayong magkaisa at sama-samang umabante.
Dahil ang bansang hindi umaatras ay bansang susulong sa magandang bukas.

CARRY ME OR CARRY ON
A Study In Contrast Between Risa Hontiveros and Pia Cayetano
Public service is not about asking the public to worry about you. It is about reassuring the public that you are equal to the moment.
After the Senate shooting incident, Senator Pia Cayetano publicly wondered why no one was checking on her welfare. Together with her brother, Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano who also expressed the same sentiment in a press briefing days earlier, the message that came across was: “Check on me and carry me.”
Yet history gives us a different standard. President Corazon Aquino endured nine coup attempts, including the bloody 1989 coup that nearly toppled her government. Her son, Benigno Aquino III, was struck by a bullet that remained lodged in his neck for the rest of his life. Yet Cory Aquino never publicly asked why no one was checking on her welfare. She never demanded sympathy. She never made herself the story. She kept her composure, fulfilled her duty, and focused on leading the nation through crisis, the same quiet stoicism exemplified by the late Queen Elizabeth II throughout her reign of service.
And when Senator Risa Hontiveros found herself on the receiving end of Senator Pia Cayetano’s complaints, she responded neither with self-pity nor anger but with dignity, restraint, and firmness. Her message was simple: Keep Calm And Carry On.
That is the contrast before us. One approach says, “Check on me and carry me.” The other says, “Keep calm and carry on.”
In public service, the measure of leadership is not how often we ask others to check on us. It is whether, in moments of crisis, we can steady ourselves, steady the institution, and help the nation carry on.
Last Wednesday, through a privilege speech that sought common ground among her fellow senators, appealed to the best in the Filipino character, and through the calm and dignity she displayed in response to Senator Pia’s rant, Risa Hontiveros proved herself to be one such leader.
Sa panahon ngayon na marami tayong kinakaharap na problema, marami pa rin ang nagtatanong kung ang impeachment ay aksaya lang ng oras.
Kaya sa hearing ngayong araw ng Committee on Justice, mariin nating ipinaliwanag: Hindi hiwalay ang impeachment sa usapin ng gutom, mababang sahod, at mahal na bilihin. Kapag may korapsyon, taumbayan ang nagbabayad.
Sa pag-usad ng impeachment case, huwag nating kakalimutan: Para ito sa mga pamilyang nagtitiis sa taas ng presyo ng bilihin habang nilulustay ang pera ng bayan. Para ito sa kabataan nating nangangarap ng magandang kinabukasan. At para ito sa pananagutan—sa ating Saligang Batas, at sa tiwala ng sambayanan.
In this month’s cover story, Sen. Bam Aquino reflects on his Senate comeback, the weight of carrying a legacy, and what it takes to serve in a political arena that is now far harsher and far less venerated than when he first entered it.

For the first time, hindi ako makabuo ng mensahe! Kanina pa ako nag-aattempt. Ikaw 'yun… (Lord). Kayo 'yun!
Tumayo lang ako, bantulot sa simula. Walang malinaw na stratehiya. Walang makinarya. Walang pera. Pero maraming istorya! Nabuo sa kahabaan ng sanga-sangang daan na hindi mo alam kung ano ang patutunguhan.
Sa gitna ng mataong palengke na may kanya-kanyang teleserye. Sa iba't ibang tanggapan kung saan minsan, hindi mo alam kung ikaw ay may lulugaran.
Ako lang at si Roel sa simula—hanggang naki-halo na ang madla! Ilang beses nadapa, bumangon, at nanumpa: makikinig, mag-aaral, hindi iindahin ang sugat. Ibabangon at ipaglalaban… Babantayan ang kaban ng bayan!
Sa mga nag-ambag, sa lahat ng tumulong, sa lahat ng naniwala, sa lahat ng nagdasal, sa lahat ng umasa… Maraming salamat!
Ngayong halalan, piliin natin ang karapat-dapat, hindi lang ang kilala. Kasi ang boto mo, hindi lang para sa ngayon—para ’to sa kinabukasan ng buong bansa.
#NadineLustre doesn’t play roles anymore—she lives them. Evolving, unfiltered, and fully aware, she redefines what it means to be called “Mother” by a generation. It’s not about status—it’s about purpose, presence, and quiet persistence.

This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
Ang mga senador ko ay ;
HINDI korap.
HINDI traydor.
HINDI maka-Tsina.
HINDI bobo o tamad.
HINDI sinungaling o bastos.
HINDI nagnakaw at hindi magnanakaw.
Kayo, ano-ano ang maipagmamalaking katangian ng mga senador niyo?
Dear doctors, nurses and health care workers, as you care for your patients, the Lord constantly offers you an opportunity to renew your lives through gratitude, mercy, and hope. #Jubilee
